Picked up my build number plaque from my parents and kerbed two wheels in the process  :ashamed:

Ouch I feel your pain kerbed my wheels recently. Hurts immensely!

Yeah the sound it made was horrible! Gives me a reason to get the wheels refurbished sooner now and change the colour

A mate of mine coded in DRL's - which has the fogs on at 30%, sidelights and indicators glowing away!
Looks fantastic  :happy2:

How restrictive is the condenser being in the way of the intercooler? Is there figures somewhere of before and after?

Cleaned bird crap off it. Again.

Starting to worry how it's going to affect the paint if it keeps happening.

Anyone got a hungry cat with a taste for housemartins?!

*(Taken From my build thread in members rides)*

Today I mostly...

Replaced the Diverter Valve. My car has been feeling sluggish and down on power. I was also getting a hissing sound in the cockpit.

This is the brand new DV, I have gone for the G revision, after reading the reviews on here, if it's not good I'm gonna blame you lot  :grin:

The easiest access is through the wheel arch, so off with the alloy. Unclip the connector and undo 3 5M allen key bolts and...

Voila...one very split and sorry for itself DV!! This top part just fell out, it had obviously had enough!

As you can see very split! I'm surprised it held any boost at all!

This has been on the car from new, nearly 10 years, I'm not surprised it's knackered!

New shiny upgraded rubber diaphragm, ready to go in.

After fitting, I went for a test drive and what a difference!! All the ponies have returned to the stable. It pulls strong all the way to the redline and is so,so much quicker, feels like a different car now!  :driver: :evilgrin:
